NoScript is different; I believe it allows you to choose whether to run scripts. Tracking can be done in different ways with simple pixel tags which I'm not sure whether NoScript would block. It also presumably requires manual configuration & trial and error to determine which scripts to allow.
uBlock Origin uses Adblock-style lists maintained by the community to determine what to block, and "what" can include scripts, CSS selectors or entire URLs regardless of how they're requested (even <img/> pixel tags can be blocked, and similarly you can load malicious JS but "defang" it by blocking the endpoints it uses to phone home so other JS on the page that expects the malicious JS to be there will still work).
I suggest you install uBlock Origin - whether you keep NoScript is up to you; it may provide greater protection (or simply performance by not running scripts you don't need) if you're happy with the management overhead of manually choosing which scripts to execute.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoThanks for the explanation. I only allow javascript to run on a handful of sites, so no-script isn't typically a problem.
